embassy in Madrid last month announced that it is "temporarily" suspending operations in the wake of glaring media attention.
A detailed account by Spanish authorities, contained in a judicial report obtained by ABC News, tracks Hong and other individuals purportedly linked to the attack as they travel to Spain, book hotels, rent cars, buy "tactical material" presumably for the operation, conduct the raid and then make their successful escape.
The assailants held the embassy for several hours, but in the meantime, the wife of a North Korean employee managed to escape by jumping out a window. She alerted locals who called the police.
